Hi, newbie here, both to the forum and to raising chickens.
One of my Easter Egger hens has been off for the past week or so, she is 16 weeks old. I did a quick search here and determined the most likely cause was coccidia. I am on day 5 a Corid drench and there seems to be little change.
She started out puffed up, head/neck withdrawn and not eating/drinking much. She now is not as puffed up, but otherwise there is not much change. She has no discharge from her beak and her eyes seem clear. She has definately lost weight. She does eat and drink, but not normally and she seems somewhat sleepy.
Is there something else that can cause these symptoms or did I just notice too late?
Thank You for your help!
